posted 8th Oct
After i had my first LO i decided i didnt want anymore kids and was set on it.. Then when he turned 3 I started getting baby fever really bad and then ended up getting pregnant with my second little one. Then after he was born again i was sure this was it, no more. He is 9 months old now and baby fever has fired up again... ugh.. I swear i dont even know my own mind any more...
Does it mean deep down I do want more or is it just something that will pass?? I dont know if i could handle another.. My two boys are handfuls.. lol.
How do you other mamas deal?

I have two boys aged 3.5 & 2. They are handfuls in every sense of the word lol.
I got baby fever after my first when he was 7 months old (despite the fact he was still very much a baby lol) & fell pregnant with my second when my first was 10 months old.
I got baby fever again after my second son's first birthday - fell pregnant & lost the baby, tried again - fell pregnant & lost another & then SO & I decided that our two terrors were more than enough & we decided not to have anymore kids...
4 months after that decision (4 days ago) we found out that we are expecting again. It was a big shock for us but we're excited.
My baby fever seemed to go away as soon as I decided no more babies but I'm so excited about the idea of a new baby now.

I hope for my sake it passes. LOL. I always wanted 3 but after I had my first I didnt want anymore until she was about 2yrs and then I got the fever but was able to push it off but when she was over 3 yrs old number 2 took up residence in my womb. Now LO is 10 months (today!) and Ive been having baby fever since she was about 8 months. I think part of it is because 3 people of my facebook literally just had babies, one as recent as last week.

I didn't want any kids, and now have 3 lol, I know I don't want any more, im positive I can't even handle any more, lol, I think what keeps me from having that *wanting* feeling, is I remind myself in the long run, I now have 3 kids I will have to pay private school tuition for, 3 kids to buy clothes, and shoes, every couple months, 3 cars to buy, 3 college funds... 3 weddings, ect lol
When I look at it that way, I would like to send 1 back possibly 2... Right now the girl is in the running

After baby #3 I decided I didn't want anymore. Then when dd was 4 we decided to ttc. I went & got my iud taken out & it took 2 years to get pregnant. Meanwhile everyone else was having babies which sucked because we couldn't conceive. After ds was born I had my tubes tied since I get baby fever a lot, besides I think 4 + SOs 2 is enough

I got the fever when DS was about 4 months, he is 8 months now. I would hold him and tell DH blake wanted a little brother. DH has been fixed for almost a year and my fever has passed, I honestly dont think I could handle another.
